What is a crossover?

What is a crossover?
Before looking at the newest vehicle to wear the Blue Oval, let's define what, exactly, a crossover is. A crossover is an SUV built on a car or minivan chassis instead of a truck-based platform. Trucks traditionally have separate frames with bodies placed upon the frames. Cars and minivans overwhelmingly feature a structure that combines the frame and body into one unit (often called a unibody) that is significantly lighter. The non-truck chassis helps these vehicles deliver carlike ride. The larger size of the crossover offers passenger and cargo capabilities that traditional sedans and station wagons can't match.

Names will help define the breed: The first was Toyota's 1996 RAV4, followed by a flood of others including Pontiac's ill-fated Aztek, Chevrolet's popular Equinox, Honda's Pilot and CR-V, and Ford's own Freestyle and segment-leading Escape. These Fords further illustrate the two main categories of crossovers, those that look more like tall station wagons and those that look like downsized trucks. For 2006, there are some 50 crossovers to choose from.

Eflatun'a iki soru sormuslar:
Birincisi; "insanoglunun sizi en cok sasirtan davranislari nelerdir?

Eflatun tek tek siralamis:
"Cocukluktan sıkilirlar ve buyumek icin acele ederler. Ne var ki cocukluklarini ozlerler.
Para kazanmak icin sagliklarini yitirirler. Ama sagliklarini geri almak icin para oderler...
Yarindan endise ederken bu gunu unuturlar. Dolayisiyla ne bu gunu ne de yarini yasarlar.
Hicolmeyecekmis gibi yasarlar. Ancak hic yasamamıs gibi olurler."

Sira gelmis ikinci soruya;
"Peki sen ne oneriyorsun?"

Bilge yine siralamis:
"Kimseye kendinizi sevdirmeye kalkmayin. Yapilmasi gereken tek sey sadece kendinizi sevilmeye birakmaktir.

ONEMLİ OLAN; HAYATTA EN ÇOK SEYE SAHİP OLMAK DEGİL, EN AZ SEYE İHTİYAC DUYMAKTIR."
